Turtle Talk with Crush Fun Facts

Did you know?

The show was the first Finding Nemo-based attraction in The Seas with Nemo & Friends pavilion, having debuted in 2004, prior to the renovation that transformed the more educational The Living Seas pavilion into its current whimsical self.

Turtle Talk with Crush was the first Disney attraction that allowed guests to vocally interact with animated characters on a screen. The animation is synchronized such as to move in tandem with the words spoken by a Cast Member behind the scenes.

Crush, the 150-year-old sea turtle from Finding Nemo, hosts Turtle Talk with Crush. Because the dialogue depends on questions and answers from audience members, the show is largely unscripted and will be different each time.

Crush interacts with guests through a “hydrophone,” which allows sound to travel between ocean and land.

With the release of Finding Dory in May 2016, a plethora of other characters including Marlin the clownfish, Nemo the clownfish, Squirt the sea turtle, Hank the “septopus,” Destiny the whale shark, and Bailey the beluga whale joined Crush and Dory.

Turtle Talk with Crush was one of the biggest surprise hits in Disney theme park history. Immense crowds forced the show to relocate into a larger theater. The show was cloned throughout the world, debuting at Disney’s California Adventure in 2005, Tokyo DisneySea in 2009, and the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (California) in 2013. Disney’s donation of Turtle Talk to the Children’s Hospital marked the first time that a Disney theme park attraction operated outside one of the company’s theme parks.
